Disinformation campaigns are not new -- think of wartime propaganda used to sway public opinion against an enemy. What is new, however, is the use of the internet and social media to spread these campaigns. The spread of disinformation via social media has the power to change elections, strengthen conspiracy theories, and sow discord. Steven Smith, a staff member from MIT Lincoln Laboratory's Artificial Intelligence Software Architectures and Algorithms Group, is part of a team that set out to better understand these campaigns by launching the Reconnaissance of Influence Operations (RIO) program. Their goal was to create a system that would automatically detect disinformation narratives as well as those individuals who are spreading the narratives within social media networks.

" Star Wars: A New Hope ", the 1977 classic directed by George Lucas, was, for many of us, the first story that brought us closer and amazed by showing us a hologram . " Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you are my last hope, " said the hologram of Princess Leia projected by R2D2 in the installment of " Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. The truth is that this innovative technology has transcended screens and science fiction and is currently being developed successfully thanks to advances in Artificial Intelligence . Until today, virtual reality headsets have not brought down television screens and computers as a reference device for watching videos. A reason? virtual reality can make users feel bad.

New York, NY, May 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Facts and Factors have published a new research report titled "Artificial Intelligence in Retail Market By Type (Offline, and Online), By Technology (Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning, and Others), By Solution (Customer Relationship Management, Payment Services management, Price Optimization, Product Recommendation, and Planning, Supply chain management and Demand Planning, Virtual Assistant, Visual Search, Others) By Service (Managed Services, and Professional Services), By Deployment Model (On-Premises, and Cloud), and By Application (In-Store Visual Monitoring and Surveillance, Location-Based Marketing, Market Forecasting, Predictive Merchandising, Programmatic Advertising, and Others): Global Industry Perspective, Comprehensive Analysis, and Forecast, 2020 – 2026". "According to the research report, the global Artificial Intelligence in Retail Market was estimated at USD 2.7 Billion in 2019 and is expected to reach USD 20.05 Billion by 2026. The global Artificial Intelligence in Retail Market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 39% from 2020 to 2026". Digitalization in retail is much more than just linking objects. It's about turning data into observations that guide decisions that produce better market results.

By September 2021, the company is slated for implementation of their technology in the most tech- forward training centers in Singapore. Moreover, it begins shipping product to its consumer purchasers and coaches who are equally excited to get their hands on the technology. "This technology represents a jump forward for our training group, allowing previously unavailable movement data to influence our training decisions, all in a portable form factor," said Carl de Vries, founder of Athletic Inc., one of BODbx's earliest users. While in-depth information on the type of feedback and guidance a user receives has been notably kept close to the company's chest, it is clear that pose analysis allows for everything from measures of fatigue to specific details about how an individual's body should be moving in order to correct form. Expect to see calorie counts, reps, and other usual suspects after your workout, too, not to mention the daily workout optimization algorithm.

GPT-3, the highly-touted text generator built by OpenAI, can do a lot of things. For example, Microsoft today announced a new AI-powered "autocomplete" system for coding that uses GPT-3 to build out code solutions for people without requiring them to do any developing. But one thing the technology can not do is "dupe humans" with its ability to write misinformation. Yet, you wouldn't know that if you were solely judging by the headlines in your news feed. Wired recently ran an article with the title "GPT-3 can write disinformation now – and dupe human readers," and it was picked up by other outlets who then reflected the coverage.

Misinformation and fake news are attacks in which content is unleashed quickly and broadly to create an immediately disruptive effect. It is seen as a significant challenge in the digital ecosystem. Today, AI bots posting automated updates has evolved beyond control. For example, when you open Twitter and see-through feeds, there are high chances that an AI bot account could've added junk content or spreading digital viruses. They are also constantly liking and commenting on others' posts. But most of the time, humans fail to recognize the junk message and fall for it.

ViacomCBS did a Netflix recently by promising an original movie per week on Paramount in 2022. Before then, it's giving film fans a taste of what they can expect by pushing an exclusive Mark Wahlberg sci-fi to the burgeoning service. 'Infinite,' a futuristic action flick from Training Day director Antoine Fuqua, is skipping theaters for Paramount on June 10th. Wahlberg stars as Evan Macauley, whose haunting memories are actually remnants from past lives. Teaming up with a secretive group known as the Infinites, he uses his buried skills to take on a familiar enemy who seeks to "end the cycle of reincarnation." The film was originally set for a theatrical debut, but the streaming sea change saw ViacomCBS divert it to Paramount .

The digital sphere is raining technologies. The influence of artificial intelligence is taking center stage with every possible improvement. Technology is changing almost all industries including banking and finance, healthcare, automobile, telecommunication, manufacturing, defense and military, entertainment and media, education, etc. The sub-domains of Artificial Intelligence such as machine learning, natural language processing, data analytics, and image analytics are also rolling out profitable use cases in diverse sectors. Besides, artificial intelligence is serving the business purpose by leveraging end-to-end automation processes. Therefore, Analytics Insight has listed the top 50 business use cases of artificial intelligence in diverse sectors. Predictive analytics is a gift to healthcare. Sometimes, we come across patients who say they underwent an unnecessary surgery due to a lack of predictions on what was coming. Fortunately, artificial intelligence is changing the fate of such burdensome risks and avoidable surgeries.

When talking about the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the newsroom, the debate tends to veer away from journalism and be all about algorithms, databases and machine learning. The thing is, most journalists are not techies and they do not care about how artificial intelligence works but what it does. And, most importantly, how can it help them do their work better so they can focus on what they do best: tell stories. AI-powered tools can do many different tasks. They can trawl through tons of spreadsheets so you do not have to.
